Four Pole Creek runs through Ritter Park, which opened Sept. 11, 1913. The park was fashioned from land originally bought by the city as a site for an incinerator. Neighbors understandably objected to the idea. When lumberman C.L. Ritter offered to donate additional land if the total tract was used for a park, the city took him up on the offer. Date is unknown.

We have a treasure trove of old negatives and photos at The Herald-Dispatch. Some of the images, we know. Others, we have no idea.

We are scanning the negatives and photos and running some of the photos in the newspaper.

These photos were from a box of 4x5 negatives.

Browse through the gallery. If you can add caption information to any of the photos (or correct a caption we already have), e-mail online editor Andrea Copley-Smith at acopley@herald-dispatch.com or call 304-526-2764. Be sure to include the title of the gallery, details of the photo, your name and phone number.
